The heater of Bin Leng continued as he got it in with K♥8♥ against the A♦J♠ of Renji Mao on a A♥8♠4♥ flop for middle pair and the nut flush draw. The 9♣ turn was a blank but the 9♥ river gave Leng the flush.
And the next shorter stack to get the chips in on the same table was Guangcheng Chen against Minh Quang Nguyen in a classic flip.
Guangcheng Chen: J♠J♥
Minh Quang Nguyen: K♥Q♣
The K♣9♠7♥9♦6♣ board paired up Nguyen and Cheng departed with a "nice hand".

One of the biggest pots of the tournament so far has been unfolding over on table five and Haitao Lei doubled to one of the largest stacks in the room. With plenty of chips in the middle to the K♥K♣Q♠3♠K♠ river, Lei jammed for the last 600,000 and Supeng Pang went into the tank.
Two time banks later, Pang called and wanted to muck his cards when Lei tabled the A♠K♦ for quads kings but his A♣Q♥ were briefly shown.

Jun Liu was sitting on just over starting stack and pushed all in for 265,000 from under the gun. The action folded through to Pan Wang in the big blind who instantly called after looking at his cards.
Jun Liu: A♦6♣
Pan Wang: Q♣Q♦
Liu was desperately looking to spike an ace as he got up from his seat. The dealer fanned the board of 8♣2♣2♦9♦J♠ which provided no help to Liu and Wang moved back into seven figures.

Dominik Nitsche and Guangcheng Chen limped in and Bin Leng raised to 85,000, which only Nitsche called to then check the 9♣7♠5♣ flop. Leng bet 65,000 and once Nitsche called, Leng sighed an "why you call?". The 5♥ turn paired the board and both players checked to see the K♦ on the river.
Nitsche now bet 215,000 with 5,000 behind and called all-in when Leng raised to reveal his K♠Q♠ for kings and fives. In the same motion, Leng rolled over his 5♦5♠ for quads fives to score the knockout in style.

Ivan Zhang raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 120,000 on the button. Zhang responded with a four-bet shove all in for 530,000 and Nitsche confirmed the count before calling.
Ivan Zhang: K♦10♣
Dominik Nitsche: A♠J♠
The flop came Q♠10♦8♣ and Zhang took the lead with a pair of tens, although Nitsche picked up extra outs as well. The 2♥ on the turn was a brick and the 8♠ on the river gave Zhang the double up.

After cruising with a big stack earlier today, Sean Ooi had been forced to re-enter and never got much going thereafter. He eventually ended up all-in with Q♥J♦ for top pair but was dominated by Junbo Qu and his K♣Q♦. The Q♣6♥5♦4♣8♦ board changed nothing whatsoever and Qu celebrated the knockout by banging his hand on the table in excitement.

Xiangqian Gong limped in from the small blind and Xiangnan Meng checked his option in the big blind. An action flop of Q♣10♦9♦ hit the felt and Gong led out with a bet of 20,000. Meng raised to 50,000 and Gong responded with a three-bet to 125,000. Meng just called and the J♦ hit the turn.
Gong fired out another bet of 70,000 and Meng just called to see the K♣ on the river. Gong announced all in with a straight on the board and Meng quickly called off his stack of around 275,000. Gong turned over J♠8♥ for a flopped straight but was now just playing the board. Meanwhile, Meng held 8♦5♦ for a flush and earned a double up.

Weijue Cai raised to 40,000 and earned one caller. Jiaweu Lu then three-bet to 130,000 but folded when Cai moved all-in.
Soon after, Lu on the button tangled with Quan Zhou in the big blind and the latter bet the 9♦3♦3♠K♠ turn for 125,000 into 275,000. Lu jammed with the 6♣6♥ and Zhou called holding the K♣2♣ and held on the 10♣ river.
